Anthropogenic activities have caused many wildlife spices to decline in populations worldwide. The grassland bird communities are especially being impacted by these land use changes. Breeding success is closely tied functional habitats for most species North Texas. Restoring degraded an important component aid conserving biodiversity. We surveyed the population at Riverby Ranch Mitigation site conducting point count sampling. This consists of recently restored grassland, wetland, and forested habitat. research was focused on post restoration monitoring community early succession habitats. set out as biomonitors help assess if practices could be considered successful. found that density estimates were more than double when comparing three different references sites under management practices. included unrestored working ranch, a area, conservation managed prairie site. biodiversity metrics high or higher reference sites. In addition, we also there observations concern present stie. supports reconstructive took place highly effective restoring diverse abundant wetland community.
